Wikio’s top gastronomy rankings: August 2009

Wikio suggested that I might like to offer a sneak preview of their top 35 gastronomy rankings. They’ve extended the usual top 20 to 35 so as to include my site. It’s great to see some old pals on this list and be introduced to new ones.

I’ve just spent an hour doing a whistle stop tour of the thirty five blogs. A really enjoyable romp only marred by the fact that I’ve still not had breakfast yet.

Apart from The Guardian – Word of mouth which staunchly sits at number one month after month, the top ten blogs seem to shuffle up and down the ladder a rung at a time.

Looking at July’s list there are three new arrivals in the top 20 hall of fame, Thring for your Supper(17) and London Eater (18) and straight in at a dazzling 12th place is Londonelicious.

Now with buttered toast in hand I feel composed enough to reveal the list for your delight and enjoyment.

  1. Thanks for the link! I think I’ve learned that a little controversy is a good thing, traffic-wise. See my post here to see what I mean!

  2. I agree with Wendy!

  3. Really, really interesting. Can’t wait to visit these blogs and have a look. (But ‘you’re my favourite’ as Bruce Forsyth would say on Strictly Come Dancing!). x

    Ooo Fiona – what a wealth of foodie sites to visit. Off to beddybise now, knowing I have this joy to check out on Wednesday.
